At this moment.

Captain Mountain King felt the flames engulfing him, with only one thought in his mind: "I've been tricked!"

Now was the most vulnerable moment for the Mountain King Shuttle, and the enemy's attack had precisely hit the weakest area of the shuttle's body.

The probability of total destruction of the Mountain King Shuttle was likely no less than ninety percent.

This meant the enemy knew the weaknesses of the Mountain King Shuttle inside out.

It also meant the enemy had completely grasped every move of this squad.

Without a doubt.

This was a long-planned ambush!

Captain Mountain King was both shocked and furious, his expression as dark as it could get.

Because the Mountain King Shuttle was the property of the city-state, losing it was certainly a huge demerit.

A rapid succession of figures flashed through his mind: "Who on earth set up this trap, intending to kill me?"

Every figure he thought of was a competitor of his in the city-state.

The internal selection mechanism of the Mountain King Race was somewhat reminiscent of "raising poisonous insects."

The winner would gain everything.

The loser would lose everything.

To win in the internal competition, each clan would stop at nothing, and secretly plotting against their kin was a common occurrence.

The strong in the city-state generally turned a blind eye to this.

The logic was simple.

If you couldn't even handle internal competition, how could you handle the Mysterious Race?

It's known that the Mysterious Race is often more ruthless, more unscrupulous.

Captain Mountain King had at least a dozen competitors in the city-state; considering those with hidden hostility, the actual number might be several dozen.

However.

The captain could not afford to think too much.

Because the flame was more terrifying than he had anticipated.

The Ice Armor covering his body couldn't quite withstand it.

When the flames surged over, the Cold Armor instantly evaporated a layer.

The captain let out a "hiss," straining every nerve to mobilize the Superpower within him, erecting an Ice Shield.

Tens of thousands of Ice Silks emerged, linking together to form an extremely complex "eggshell" structure.

This was the Ice King Shield, a defense Secret Technique the Mountain King Race had been researching for thousands of years.

The Ice Silk seemed slightly chaotic but was actually intricately arranged.

The captain was very confident that, with his strength, he could absolutely block this strike from the enemy.

"Buzz~ buzz~"

The Ice Silk began to vibrate at a strange frequency, swiftly.

The oncoming flames, under the influence of this vibration, oddly dispersed.

Additionally, the Ice Shield naturally counteracted flames, forcefully resisting them.

Though flames still filled the surroundings, the captain's Ice Armor no longer evaporated and was even partially restored by the Superpower.

The captain let out another "hiss," intending to dive into the Ice Sea below.

After a while.

Something unexpected happened.

A mass of red electric snakes emerged from the flames, swarming over to envelop the Ice King Shield in an instant.

"Zz~ zz~"

Accompanied by a strange sound.

The vibration frequency of the Ice Silk was suddenly subjected to unprecedented strong interference, its stability instantly disrupted.

The next moment.

The captain was horrified to realize the Ice Shield was showing signs of collapse.

"Zz~"

The strange noise grew louder.

Many small Fire Snakes crawled in through the cracks inside the Ice King Shield, touching the captain's body.

Subsequently.

The captain felt an intense stabbing pain throughout his body, as if pricked by countless needles.

This pain was not confined to the body but reached deep into his soul, making him feel like he was in unbearable agony.

"Ah~"

The captain couldn't help but open his mouth to scream in misery.

Only then did he realize that these were not Fire Snakes, but a kind of bizarre Electric Snake.

At this moment.

The captain could no longer control the Ice King Shield.

"Crack! Crack!"

A dense cracking sound was heard, and the Ice King Shield shattered into countless Cold Qi spheres.

More Fire Snakes rushed over, attacking with greater ferocity.

"Ah~"

The captain's wails grew louder.

His Ice Armor evaporated even faster, thinning by half in the span of half a breath.

Even the "mountain" crest on his head partially vanished, leaving only two broken Ice Spikes.

The long triangular cone tail was slightly shorted at the end by the burning.

In the eyes of the Mountain King Race, the tail was not only a crucial attack weapon but also key to one's demeanor.

Now missing a segment, this was undeniably a disfigurement.

At this moment.

The captain suddenly gritted his teeth, decisively triggering the Secret Technique to stimulate his potential.

His left arm suddenly blurred.

"Bang!"

The left arm burst into a large expanse of Cold Qi, pushing back the surrounding flames.

Using the explosive force, the captain transformed into a stream of light, swiftly shooting towards the surface of the Ice Sea.

"Plop!"

A light splash was heard.

The captain dived dozens of meters underwater.

He groaned in pain, gazing upwards through the seawater.

He immediately saw the vast Mountain King Shuttle descending from the sky, trailing a mass of flames.

There were flame-spewing holes in both the back and the bottom of the shuttle.

Clearly.

This flying vehicle had been completely destroyed.

In the captain's eyes, a gleam of hatred flashed.

Besides hatred, he felt fear.

The fear was due to the flame, mixed with Electric Snakes, which he had no idea how to counter.

The doubt was because none of his many competitors in the city-state possessed such a technique.

Could it be that a competitor had acquired a powerful Deceitful Artifact?

The captain floated in the icy water, watching the wreckage of the flying vehicle crash heavily into the Ice Sea surface hundreds of meters away.
